2017 Nissan Rogue Dashboard Light Guide

When you’re cruising through the streets of Philadelphia, Lansdale and Doylestown in your 2017 Nissan Rogue, the last thing you want to see is the annoying glow of a dashboard light. A car problem could uproot your entire day, but sometimes you don’t have to worry. Not all dashboard lights on the Rogue are bad. Know the difference between each dashboard light, and you can have peace of mind while driving and never be caught off guard. Learn what each light indicates with our 2017 Rogue dashboard light guide.

Warning Lights vs Indicators

Remember, not all lights mean you have to plan a trip to the mechanic. Some just indicate that one of the Rogue’s numerous features has been activated. You’ll see quite a few lights turn on as you start your car, but that’s just to notify you that they’re working. The lights only mean something when they stay on after you’ve been driving. Warning lights are typically warm colors, like red or orange, while indicators are white or blue. Even if you forget what one of the lights mean, the color can tell you a lot about the situation you’re in.

Warning Lights

ABS Warning Light: This light appears as the letters ABS and indicates an issue with your anti-lock braking system. Brake Warning Light: When you see the word BRAKE, there’s an issue with your brakes altogether. Get your Rogue to a service center immediately. Charge Warning Light: Appearing as a car battery, this light indicates that your battery isn’t properly charging. Power Steering Warning Light: When you see the letters PS light up on your dash, your power steering may be malfunctioning. Be careful as it’s much harder to steer without it. Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: This light appears as an oil can and illuminates when your oil pressure is low. This is essential for the proper functioning of your car, so get to a mechanic immediately. Vehicle Dynamic Control Warning Light: This light appears as a vehicle with curved tread marks behind it, and can mean different things. If the light is blinking, your vehicle may be close to losing traction as the vehicle dynamic control system is reaching its limit. If it stays on, the system isn’t working right altogether. Malfunction Warning Light: This light looks like an engine block, and is the dreaded check engine light. When you see this, get over to a service center as soon as you can.

Indicator Lights

All-Wheel Drive LOCK Indicator Light: Relevant only on AWD models, obviously, this light indicates that your AWD is turned on. High Beam Indicator Light: Appearing as a headlight, this light indicates that your high beams are on. Overdrive Off Indicator Light: This light illuminates when you have turned overdrive off. Security Indicator Light: This light looks like a key inside the outline of a car and means that your security system is online. You should only see this while the ignition is off. SPORT Mode Indicator light: When you see SPORT, it means that your sport mode is activated. A crossover SUV provides fantastic styling and massive utility, and there are two models that provide all of the features you deserve: the 2017 Nissan Rogue and the Honda CR-V.
